My name is Christopher Swearingen. I am a current doctoral student at the Medical University of South Carolina and have been involved in research for more than a decade, primarily in rheumatoid arthritis but for the last two years Parkinsons.

I am currently conducting a survey on caffeine beverage use in individuals with Parkinson's. If you are an individual with Parkinson's, I ask that you complete the online survey found at

http://survey.itlab.musc.edu/public/survey.php?name=PD_Caffeine

It should take no more than fifteen minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

This research is conducted with the approval of the Medical University of South Carolina's Institutional Review Board (#16526). If you any questions regarding
this research, please visit http://research.musc.edu/ori/irb/home.htm for contact information.

Feel free to contact me at swearinc.parkinsons@musc.edu if you have any
questions at all. I may not know the answers, but I will try to put you in touch with someone who can.
